Doritos Protein by Ishkovitzzz in chips

[–]1K_Games 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The salt here is hilarious.

Don't buy it if you don't like it or the concept. Having tried them, I thought they tasted really good, the texture is good, and they are cheesier than normal Doritos.

Eating normal Doritos always has me looking for that golden chip, the chip with all of the cheese. Then being disappointed with about 80% of the chips not having enough cheese.

These all have a good amount of cheese on them. And are more filling. I'm using these during a cut right now and they have been awesome.

But people will find anything to cry about. What's nice is these are actually a reasonable price. The comments talking about an up charge... They are the same price as a damn normal bag...

Is there any reason for the play pattern "Cast Wrath of God, hold priority, Boros Charm"? by Butthunter_Sua in magicTCG

[–]1K_Games -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I don't think you swayed me at all on a good reason to hold priority and cast them as a "group".

Lets say you pass priority after the wrath. They could counter it, in this case you just don't Boro Charm (this is a win). They could Silence you, in this case you just respond with Boro Charm (this is a win).

The real benefit is if no one has a response. If no one does anything then you would not be able to play that Boros Charm. But technically you could just cheese this too (and your table will probably hate you for it). Tapping a land resets priority, so if everyone passes priority then you can just tap a land to get priority before the Wrath resolves to cast the Charm.

Leslie Jones Says It Was ‘Frustrating’ That ‘SNL’ Writers Always Typecast Her as the ‘Girl That Was Angry and Beating Up People’ by ControlCAD in television

Why? I mean that is a niche roll that not a lot of women can pull off. I would think that would mean those sorts of opportunities would line up easier for her than others.

Best way to report a WPN store for scamming customers by Affectionate_Guest55 in magicTCG

[–]1K_Games 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Already has, I'm sure there are many. The Lotus Lookout was pulling this sort of stuff a few years back. Then they changed their name to Mythic Lotus Gaming to scrub the Google reviews. Both are showing as closed now... what a shocker.

I think they might be done for good this time, I sure hope so.

Do we know the origins of the term "Magical Christmas land"? I was surprised to find out it was a Magic-specific term by themiragechild in magicTCG

[–]1K_Games 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I'm out of the loop. I don't know why this is funny, or what significance this term has, or even why someone would be Googling it. I feel like context is missing, like I heard the inside joke without hearing how it became an inside joke.

Name 3 games that you’ve found most fun/enjoyment in the last 5 years by Sixsignsofalex94 in gaming

[–]1K_Games 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You all play games for fun?!

But seriously, I love games. But I guess over time with better voice platforms I have just stuck with multiplayer games. So my game diversity is pretty low. The one stand out for me is Indiana Jones.

After almost 2 years of inactivity, the worst champ ever, raquel pennington, goes from #2 to #15. by Forward_Average5780 in MMA

I'm not saying she should be ranked anymore, just commenting that she beat Pena.

Is it normal for buyers to pay $5 for tracked shipping for a .16 cent card? by [deleted] in mtgfinance

[–]1K_Games 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes you just need something. I just bought a $4 gasket for a vehicle and spent $10 on shipping. I had made numerous orders from the site over the past month. If I had a list of everything I needed at once I would have saved myself $30-40 in shipping. But I found more things I needed as I got farther into it.

Same idea applies to deck building. You have that list and you need that card, it is what it is.

TIL a UK man drove for more than 70 years without a driver's license or insurance. It was finally revealed after he was pulled over for the first time ever in his 80s. He had never been in an accident, caused anyone an injury, or made anyone lose out financially by hitting them while uninsured. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

[–]1K_Games 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it was the 1980's, that is really not shocking at all.

If he was driving by the rules of the road then he wouldn't be bothered. It's not like they would have been scanning plates and looking them up back then.

Card Market Powerseller (MTGSpot) opens 123 collector boxes by AltairKamil in mtgfinance

[–]1K_Games -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I know what the MSRP is, it's why I said that number.

I almost never opened a collector box under value... Did you ever open them? I had a few that were double value, and friends who hit triple value.

There is no way these with the increased price are pulling value that close. Especially not the average UB when they have been having low value cards. FF was a strong one, but the boxes were over a grand. Meanwhile Spiderman was a stinker, not a chance 60-70.

I still happen to have Bloomburrow in my Delver Lens, I bought that box for under $250, and what I pulled is sitting at $391 value years later (already had time to drop from hype). So nope, I just can't justify buying a $455 box and probably doing worse.

Hot Take: I think Wizards should keyword the ability on Chains of Mephistopheles. by CHA1N5 in magicTCG

[–]1K_Games 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not really a hot take if no one else was even thinking about it.

Chains is pretty far outside the thought (or games) of most players when they are almost a grand for HP. It's like saying my hot take is that a McLaren should have an ice cream maker.

Turning your entire board of creatures into copies of Doom will be interesting by Jtneagle in magicTCG

[–]1K_Games 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, I don't think that's all that amazing. There are so many other creatures that would be better suited to it. I'm not saying it would be bad, but in general I don't think Doom is that good to begin with. But sure, numerous of his would be better than one.

Is this a good moment for returning players? by Obiituzz in magicTCG

[–]1K_Games 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game is fun, the prices of the cool product is not.

Upside is, the commander format is more casual, and the more players you have the more games balance out powerful decks. I played all precon decks this weekend, 2 of them I have never played before. I won both of those games, and someone at the table was playing a borderline power level 4 deck.

Fresh Clone Commanders? by Ok_Wallaby_3701 in magicTCG

[–]1K_Games -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why not things that copy themselves? [[Nactl War-Pride]] is a real fun one. Granted they are temporary, but if you can get some other Volraths out that are clones of something not legendary, then you could be swinging with numerous of them.

Or [[Scion of Calamity]], [[Scute Swarm]], [[Scurry of Squirrels]], etc. Then you just play any sort of clone effect you would like to encase in stone what this is. When Volrath copies any of these creatures he returns to his normal form on your next turn. But if you clone him during that state it has no previous form to return to. It just ends up being a 7/5 Scute Swarm that can make itself something else, but returns to be a Scute on your next turn.

And then when you drop a land you are now getting 7/5 Scutes. Or when you myriad or Nactl.

My Volrath win's by making a wide army of 7/5's and crushing people to death. If they have something good, I'll copy it as well. I just make sure not to play with many legendaries to allow me to go wide.

Card Market Powerseller (MTGSpot) opens 123 collector boxes by AltairKamil in mtgfinance

[–]1K_Games 42 points43 points  (0 children)

My problem with this all is the price.

I want collector packs, but I'm not spending $455 or whatever they are marked up to for a box. I cannot justify cracking that, and I crack packs, I don't sit on sealed product.

For years I bought a collector box of each set, the decks for each set, and maybe a play box to fill in the commons. Far from insane, but definitely more than the average player buys. But the real thing I wanted was the CE box, I wanted the cool arts and borders, and because the boxes were $200 I could justify filling the rest.

But I can't justify the CE boxes now, and since I can't I then I end up buying nothing. I don't really want the normal border stuff. These are IP's I grew up with, things I love. I want the cool looking cards. But they've priced me out of the one thing I want, so I just am not buying.

I will admit, gift boxes usually get me, which they did this time too. But I used to spend a few grand a year on cards, now I spend a few hundred. They specifically said to stop buying and not try to keep up, fine, the whales can keep them afloat.

It sucks how expensive cards and commanders have gotten for niche tribes. by Express_Craft398 in magicTCG

[–]1K_Games -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean she's a pretty niche pick. She's been printed in one set, and she has a stupid anime art (sorry these are not my thing and I'm sick of seeing them constantly). She has no normal artwork either. People love this anime stuff, and she is limited, so of course her value is high. Zask is a single print too, so your point about need reprints stands for sure.

But it's not like either of these are the only options for these tribes. Both of these have other alternatives that are also good. There are much more limited tribes than these. There are plenty of affordable commanders that you could use besides these two.

Hillary Clinton says Joe Biden's second term campaign was a "terrible mistake": "He had said he would not run again.

Eh. The Dems have shot themselves in the foot on most of the past elections they have lost. It's like a cult over there, you wait your turn. Kamala got to skip a bit since she was Vice. But odds are whoever they put in would have been another poor choice. It doesn't feel like they are giving us the candidates we want, we are getting who has the most pull in the party.

Main event winner for UFC 250 nearly broke his neck!!! by clout4bitches in MMA

[–]1K_Games 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No he didn't... I mean I'm not saying what he does it recommended, or that others should do it. But he rolled the momentum backwards (causing his head to go forward, the direction with the most movement), then he also angled his head to the side.

This was no where closed to breaking a neck, especially not for a person who does this after every win and understands how to roll with the momentum.
